Space Odyssey vs. Contact: Discuss

I just saw 2001: A Space Odyssey. It reminded me of Contact, and that is not a good thing, ladies and gentleman. Here's the moral of both movies: Space travel is totally lame. Just don't do it. You will be dissapointed.

You know what else is dissapointing about watching 2001? It was made 42 years ago, in 1968, just before people walked on the moon. Stanley Kubrick thought we might make it to Jupiter by 2001. That's not working out too well.
